Chapter 406 Faith and Authority
"Enta... has lost?"
Inside the pitch-black tent, the wolf-headed priest sat cross-legged on an animal skin. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, revealing a pair of dark, slightly reddish pupils.
The Snow Wolf Horn was a treasure he gave to Enta, a treasure containing the divine power of the god.
Such a treasure would not be given away casually by the wolf-headed priest; it was naturally inscribed with witchcraft that had a special connection to it.
Therefore, in addition to the ability to summon snow wolves, the Snow Wolf Horn also has the ability to make connections.
However, this ability has now been suddenly severed, and he has lost contact with Enta as a result. If he is not mistaken, they must have been defeated by the enemy.
This result was indeed somewhat unexpected for the wolf-headed priest.
It should be noted that the Frostwolf tribe, under the command of the Frostwolf God, is considered a dominant force in the area. They have explored almost the entire region, leaving them with few formidable opponents.
Even if a few small tribes were to rise up by chance, they would not be able to withstand the power of the Snow Wolf Horn, even if there were gods present.
Because most gods exist because they depend on people. They gain power by being worshipped by people, but if the tribe is very weak, these gods will naturally not be very strong either.
These deities are called deities of faith, and their relationship with people is somewhat symbiotic.
Another small number of deities are able to operate independently of people's faith, and they do not become weaker even if the tribe declines.
This is because they are inherently powerful and do not need to rely on people's faith to survive.
For example, the Frostwolf God is such a being. This is why, after seeing the people of the tribe afflicted with that demonic disease, the Frostwolf God decisively chose to squeeze out their value and then abandon them.
Instead of expending most of our divine power to treat this virus that may not even be curable, it would be better to save our strength to attack those small tribes and raise a new batch of easy prey.
These deities are called the Powerful Gods; they were not born of humans, but rather of this world.
If the wolf-headed priest was not mistaken, then the enemy forces that were trafficking their tribe must be worshipping a deity.
Only those who believe in gods need people to fill their numbers; powerful gods do not need such laborious operations.
But this is exactly what puzzled the wolf-headed priest: when exactly did such a powerful deity come into being in this area?
Where is their tribe?
After much deliberation, the wolf-headed priest decided to keep his doubts to himself.
Since the mission had failed, he no longer intended to get involved, naturally because he didn't want to cause trouble.
The god who could defeat Enta, who possessed the Snow Wolf Horn, must have considerable strength. Putting aside whether we could actually defeat him, there's not much point in doing something so thankless and exhausting.
As for the population relocation... let's just turn a blind eye, these guys aren't going to live much longer anyway...
...........
The wolf-headed priest probably didn't expect that even though he didn't want to cause any more trouble, the other side had already set its sights on him.
"You mean... soon... the entire village will be devoured by the god?"
"How is this possible?!"
Looking at Enta, who was almost in a daze, the Isaac brothers showed expressions of disbelief.
In their understanding, although the Frostwolf God could not cure this strange disease, he was still their god, so how could he do such a despicable thing!
However, Enta, who had already been tortured by the monks, still insisted that it was true. He said that he and the wolf-headed priest actually had a close relationship, and he had only heard about it by chance.
But he was certain it was true...
After hearing all this, the Isaac brothers collapsed to the ground, utterly defeated. Decades of faith crumbled in an instant; they couldn't believe their revered god would act this way...
evil?
Raji stood aside, unconcerned. He had long suspected that the Frostwolf God was no good god, and now that his true colors had been revealed, it was a relief for Raji.
Grandpa, did you see that...?
"What do we do? Rick and the others are still in the village..."
After the initial disappointment came panic. Unlike Raj, the Isaac brothers had many friends in the village, and they couldn't just watch their friends and neighbors be killed by an evil god.
Therefore, they could only place their hopes on the powerful monks.
"Please, Buddha, save Doc Village!"
"As long as we save Dok Village, everyone will be eternally grateful to Buddha. We will all offer incense and sacrifices on time, just begging Buddha to save us!"
Seeing the Isaac brothers kneeling on the ground pleading, the monks exchanged glances and, after some thought, granted their request.
“Amitabha Buddha, monks are compassionate. Now that innocent people are suffering, we will not stand idly by.”
“But this is no ordinary matter. We must first report to the Buddha and let him make a decision.”
"Believe me, the Buddha would be very happy to save you lost believers."
"After all, he hates evil gods the most..."
After offering repeated reassurances, the abbot led several monks to the inner courtyard, where they could communicate with Lin Tian, who was far away.
There's really no need for much communication, because this was something that was decided long ago. Lin Tian had long had his eye on the huge faith reserves in Dok Village. The reason he hadn't made a move was simply because he was waiting for an opportunity.
Now that we have a reason to act, it's perfectly justified to send troops now. We can boast about it a couple more times, and then we can easily reap the benefits of faith.
Even so, the abbot still needed to report to Lin Tian, since it was not very safe for their temple to take over a village like Duoke with just their own strength.
The main difference lies in high-end combat power. There is a powerful god behind Dok Village. If he takes action, the monks may not be able to withstand him.
Therefore, before launching an attack on Dok Village, a powerful figure is needed to keep order. If he can successfully defeat the false god, the monks' superior individual combat skills will make Dok Village a piece of cake.
call!
The three incense sticks were lit again. As the incense burned, the Buddha statue in the local temple began to slowly change. The Buddha statue, which already resembled Lin Tian, became even more like him.
After a while, once the Buddha statue had completely transformed into Lin Tian's appearance, with a click, the Buddha statue suddenly moved, much to the astonishment of the monks.
